Hooray!! <BR/><BR/>I can't remember what the exact colour of the Malabrigo was, so I can't really say which photo seems to be more true to the actual colour. Just looking at them side by side I think I like the with-flash photo better, but I do know that flash tends to screw with the colours of things. <BR/><BR/>Maybe you could try fiddling with the lighting settings of your camera? I find that the yellowish (or bluish) tint comes and goes when I switch between sunny/cloudy/tungsten light modes. It's not always perfect, but seems to help a lot. Sometimes I use the custom white balance setting and that works ok too. <BR/><BR/>Maybe get to just before the crown shaping (with one less repeat) and see how it looks? Maybe compare it to a hat that you already have to project how it will fit? I knit one less repeat on my pink Shedir as well and I think it's much better that way. <BR/><BR/>This comment is going on and on! I also wanted to add that cabling without a cable needle saved my life, and made cables a lot more fun (and faster). I don't know of a good tutorial off the top of my head, but I'm sure you could Google it and it's not that hard besides. =)Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17677671017557368426noreply@blogger.com
